I haven't read all five pages of responses to this post so I could be repeating others opinion... my thinking on someone without a picture is that they don't want their spouse to see it.. A person who is cheating usually has a spouse playing detective to bust them.

You would have to be insane to want to meet someone with no pic, or an obviously fake photo or cartoon. Completely insane.

it would be real scary to
i would be...but then...without a picture the person can focus on the inside of the person and the connection they possibly share
without one sense the other senses intensifies...
i wont meet them until i feel real comfortable talking to them...i'll prob ask him to tell me the basic appearance of him though...ethnicity, height, body built...the good stuffs. haha...well that's for me...
others like meeting and talking first so they wont waste any of their time yaddaya...see attraction first then go from there...
*shrug* i think talking is fun-it really makes you realize the person himself/herself than fall googly eye over the physical appearance.

Yes I met a guy with no pic and he was so nice I couldn't believe it. We had a swell time and I enjoyed myself very much. Sometimes we just need to take a leap of faith. I did make sure my daughter knew about him and had a phone # for him too. But it turned out very well.

no i have not been that brave. i have gone as far as telling the person where i work and if they wanted to check me out and then introduce themselves, but that has never materialized. i have met a lot of women online that i have gone for a meal with and all of those had pics. i alwyas meet them somewhere, for obvious reasons, and without a pic i wouldnt know who i was meeting. remember as well, looks are not everything that makes a happy longterm relationship. do not be shy about sending pic to someone you are interested in. if they don't like your looks then it would never have worked out. also bo honest about who you are on line.in an imaginary world we are all hung like horses or built like jlo.....but i havnt seen any pigs fly by my window lately.
great subject.

I haven't dated anyone with out a picture, but after reading all these post, I began to think. What does a photo really mean. The men I met after seeing a pictur didn't look like their pictures anyways.

On man posted a picture of himself nicely dressed in a suit with black hair and a nice gotee. When he showed up he had long scraggly grey hair with a bandana piercings everywhere and dirty clothes. I asked him about the picture and he said it was from 10 years ago when he was on a cruise.

then you have the people who steal a picture from someone else to post, so that they get responses. And there are the cartoons and beautiful artworks people use as their main pictures.

So if this is how things are going to be ..... then think.. What is a picture worth anyways.

No way would I meet someone without having an idea of what they looked like in a few pics. Maybe even a web cam. Not that looks are the most important thing, but there must be some form of physical attaraction

I have met and dated for awhile someone I met off here with no pic and sure when I got to the door I kinda wanted to bolt but I stuck it out and well I'm sorry that realtionship didn't last as that was th first time in my 26 years I had ever felt truly loved by someone I had never been touched like that before and oddly enough she was the one to brake it off and I would do it again looks for the most part mean nothing to me .

Yes

I went to england after talking with someone online and phone for 9 months. Had no clue what he looked like till I stepped off the plane. Freinds and family thought I had lost my mind but I was going to meet a person and not a face. Unfortunately he did lie about his age and folks thought he was my dad. lol. Have to admit I had a great time with him and the trip was well worth the expense but would I again go such a distance sight unseen? Hell no.

I try to get to know a girl before seeing a picture of her. Sometimes pictures don't do justice. I'd love to be able to post pictures of myself to my profile but being I only have webtv I'm not able to. I have a picture of myself that my sister had sent to me once but that's a few years old now. I still believe I look pretty much the same. I'll always email my pic to girls who ask for it. It's just better if they email me their pic first. I've met a few girls without pics and it didn't turn out too well. One had no teeth, and the others who were "a few extra pounds" were completely fat. I had a few girls even lie to me about their real names and ages. I don't see whats wrong with just being truthful to everyone. I've even met some girls with pics but those didn't amount to anything either.

I apologize for the double (double) posting. I finally wrote out a long response and then it didn't look like it was posting so I tried it again....and again......and again. Well, I guess it did post after all. Everytime in fact. Now don't I feel like an idiot? (the answer is yes).

i think the best , unique girls put no pics..thats what i go for
putting up a pic is being extremely local,takes out the ??? fun part..,looks desperate ,,and is a hoe signal...and lack of cutie confidence,
in a nutshell having pictures depict a un-unique local funless desperate plastic surgerised hoe signal...
pretty unimpressive for me.
any body like philosophy?

I would.

lust fades. Love shades.

I'd meet someone sight unseen but its a little scary but you could get a lot out of the voice and personality...and writings..but honestly I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT on meeting this person...I made fun of worst case scenarios..(hers and mine)tried to say who I might look like? and tried to get description.but I really didn't care..it was a fun time..and we still have good phone conversations.

So, just be careful and meet in a public place and tell someone where you're going (file a flight plan) and check in (bring cell phone or payphone money) konw the exits...carry gaslone and a condom....ask what they're wearing but don't tell them...block your caller id
fill car with gas, check tire pressure..first aide kit and jumpter cableslol ;)

ever notice some people are more photogenic than others. I tried smiling and doing
what a fashion conscious person does that I know..and you know...my photos started looking better -- even my license photo...now if only in real life..I could jut my jaw and smile..hahhahh and update my couture posh fashion t-shirts.

Would you ever meet someone in sweatpants..thats the question. I think that would be funny at least once..have everyone in the area....meet at a mall...like 20 people all wearing grey sweatpants and t-shirts...all meet at the food court BWAYAHAAHAHH sorry laughed at own joke.hahahhahaah

I met a girl from the bank once over the phone. We got along great. We finally met and were both dissappointed, despite having a good time.

I met a girl online one time that didn't have a pic. Again, we got along well. She finally e-mailed me a pic and I was very disappointed.

I know it sounds shallow, and maybe that's a character flaw, but you need to be attracted to someone. If they aren't that great looking, you can get past a few things- a few extra pounds than what you were expecting or not being Cindy Crawford. But there are limits. Am I wrong?

@ karatplusthree

You got a point there. Of the two dates I had, I could only recognise one of them by his front teeth. His profile pic had to have been years old. It doesn't take a lot to get a recent pic. Just get in the bathroom like most people do and then one can smile in mirror as they hold that camera below the waist. I found the pic looked better when I angled the camera over my head. I cropped the pic so you can't see that arm reach... lol
